Emancipation. 1  On August 12, 2005, an Arizona law went into effect that permits minors who are at least 16 but not yet 18, to apply to be emancipated or to be declared legally an adult. The minor must prove they are financially self-sufficient and able to provide their own food, housing and medical care without parental assistance.
The Family Code underlines the provisions by which a Californian under the age of 18 can be emancipated. If a child has entered into a valid marriage, she is emancipated. She remains emancipated even if the marriage is terminated. If the child is on active duty with the Armed Services, he is emancipated. Finally, the court can declare the minor to be emancipated. The rest of this article will discuss how to Petition the court for emancipation. A minor who is at least 14 years of age may petition the court for emancipation. The minor does not have to hire an attorney. The minor will live separately and apart from his or her parents or guardian.
